Resource for weeks 6,7 and 8

Kindergarten Reading Activities - Letters/Sounds/Words ( This resource may be used for Week 6, 7 and 8) Old MacDonald’s Vowel Farm (short vowel song) Old MacDonald had a farm a-e-i-o-u On that farm he had a cat a-a-a-a-a On that farm he had a hen e-e-e-e-e On that farm he had a pig i-i-i-i-i On that farm he had a dog o-o-o-o-o On that farm he had a duck U-u-u-u-u Long Vowels - Parents remind children that some letters make more than one sound. A,E,I,O,U can say their own names. (order of instruction: a,i,o,e,u) We will focus on the long vowel sound with silent e at the end.

1. Vowel Hunt - for each vowel, write 5 short and 5 long vowel words on index cards/sticky notes/paper (ex. Cat, map, rat, tap, sat, cake, rake, snake, tape, vase). You can write the short vowel in the word with a blue color and long with a red to help. Place the words around your house. Have your child find the words, sort into short vowel/long vowel piles/groups and read the words (tap/sound out).

2. Mystery Bag/Box a. Long vowels - have your child find objects/magazine pictures/words you

prepare with the long vowel that you are working on and place them in the paper bag/box . (ex. Long i - put dime, five, nine, time, bike - in the bag and leave hat, pen, tape out of the bag.

b. Long and Short Vowels - use 2 bags/boxes and give your child objects/pictures/words to sort into the bags/boxes focusing on one vowel at a time. (ex. Draw pictures of: lake, game, vase, cake, tape, hat, mat, cat). Choose a picture, say the name, sound it out and put into the short or long vowel labeled bag/box. Try writing each word!

Resource for weeks 6,7 and 8 3. Sight Word Card Activities:

- Write the sight words from the pacing guide - “Rainbow Write” - trace over the words with multiple colors/markers

- Write the words on a plate/cookie sheet of salt - shake to erase - try shaving cream too

- Sight word tic-tac-toe - make a tic-tac-toe board - write a new sight word in each space - play with a partner - say the word before putting on a counter - if unknown, ask parents for help

- Hide word cards around the house - find and say the word - use it in a sentence - write the word in a sentence using other sight words and inventive spelling.

- Place 4 word cards down in a row (word side up) - use familiar sights words first - ask your child to recognize/read one - if correct she/he takes that card and you replace it with another word so 4 words are always there - start adding new sight words as you continue - see how many words your child can recognize!!!!

- Use playdough to make the words - pipe cleaners are fun too if available.

Kindergarten Week 6: Beginning Sounds Name: Directions: Identify the beginning sound of each picture. Then write the letter that represents that sound below the picture.

Week 8: Science/Social Studies

Let’s talk about Shadows! What is a shadow?  A shadow is a dark shape that is created on a surface when an object blocks light. Take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOIGOT88Aqc Belgian artist, Vincent Bal, uses shadows from everyday objects to complete his drawings. View this video of him explaining how he creates his “Shadowology” artwork: https://youtu.be/NInkH0ukCOI More examples of his art: https://youtu.be/b-R-ZHTRksI

Now we can try some fun shadow art ourselves! First, decide if you want to make shadow art by using objects and tracing them (#1) OR  a more challenging “Shadowology” art piece like artist Vincent Bal creates (#2). Find something that creates a fun shadow (a toy, piece of furniture, something in nature or a person). Use a natural light source (the sun) or angle a lamp to emphasize the shadows of the object to draw.

Think about these questions before starting: -->What kind of paper do I want to use? Plain, colored, etc. -->How should my object and paper be positioned to make an interesting shadow with my light source? -->Do I want to capture the whole shadow or part of my object’s shadow on my paper? Using paper and a pencil, either trace the shadow your object creates (if completing #1) OR add the details of your drawing around the shadow (if completing #2). When finished, take a picture of your drawing with the object included. Then, add color or details. Take another picture of your drawing and compare. Which do you like better (with or without color)? Why? Alternative material: use chalk or water on your sidewalk instead of paper (this works better with larger objects).   Share your shadow pictures with your art teacher!

Choose one of the following

Drawing Prompts to complete. Be creative and make it your own idea!   Use the entire piece of paper and include a background. Start with pencil and then color your drawing using a medium of your choice (crayons, colored pencil, markers, etc.). Refer back to the video posted in Google Classroom about Art Supplies to get more unconventional ideas for supplies. -A map with hidden treasure  -Something special to you  -Illustrate a scene from a favorite book Be descriptive in what you include by drawing lots of details from the story. Here is Mrs. Boumiea’s sample drawing from Benjamin, her 5 year old’s favorite book, Beast Feast!

Mrs. Boumiea will be adding 

color to her drawing during the 

Art Zoom Office Hours.  

Be sure to share your picture 

and the story behind your 

artwork with a sibling or adult. 

Send a picture to your art 

teacher!

Word On The Street: Inspiring Our Community Through Art

Street art is art created on surfaces in public places. It is usually created as a way to convey messages to a large group of people. The murals (a painting on a wall) above are examples of famous street art pieces. Most of Mrs. Boumiea’s classes have discussed murals. Check out this video to learn about Street Artists including images from Banksy, Jason Naylor, Andrea Von Bujdoss, Shepard Fairey, Lakwena Maciver, and Eduardo Kobra: https://www.youtube.com/mcVR0IvZ4r4 Create a Positive Artwork to Share There are ideas below and examples in the video. Think and plan What positive message do I want to use? What is an image or simple word that would quickly get my message across to others? What materials do I have? Ideas: Sidewalk or Fence Chalk Message Poster or Banner Cardboard Sign Window Art (painted or paper) Nature Message Painted Rocks Flag posted in your yard OR your own idea **Be sure to ask your parents for permission and decide on a good spot to create or display your art.** SHARE your positive artwork with others. Don’t forget to take a picture for your art teacher!

Let’s make a guitar !  

These are the materials you will need: a cereal box, a pen, a glass or something circular to trace, scissors, tape, 2 0r more rubber bands and your parents will need a knife.  **The cutting is a little tricky.** Please watch this video with a 

family member before starting and have your parents or an older sibling help you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr4oDIMbi_E&t=22s 

 Decorate your guitar  Be imaginative and make it personal!  Prepare to show your guitar to family and friends and be able to explain how you made it.  You can show it off at your class zoom meetings!  Don’t forget to send a picture of your guitar to your art teacher.   Extension: Can you make a song to play on your guitar about your experience staying home during this pandemic? What Would you sing about to make people feel better? What would you joke about? Send a video to your teachers.  Tune in to the Art Zoom Office Hours to see

Flowers And a look at Georgia O’Keefe 

Practice drawing an Iris flower https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IABkbSgg0WQ Practice drawing a Black Eyed Susan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFw_rdRKB8E Practice drawing a Daffodil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3FydEEiyFA Use your new flower drawing skills to create a final product that is personal to you and serves a greater purpose,   It can be an inspiring artwork for the kitchen, a birthday card for someone or maybe a sign of wellness to put in the window for others outside to appreciate.    

Georgia O’Keeffe painted flowers among other things and was unique in her approach. Watch this short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyRzUii-pSc  

  

Questions to answer: Can a beautiful picture of flowers create a change in someone’s mood? How? Can a lack of artwork also contribute to peoples’ moods and feelings? What conclusion can you draw about art in hospitals or nursing homes? Does the age of the artist make a difference? Why would it? Please explain your ideas to someone in your family or a friend over the phone. Send a picture to your art teacher!

Recyclables Gather your trash!!! Mrs. Jetton gathered these items. It took a week or so to save so many containers.   Now, what should she make?  Important things to think about: How will I connect parts? Glue? Tape? How will I cut things? How will I add details & color? You might need a parent’s help to cut and assemble your masterpiece. Brainstorm some ideas for your project. Draw sketches of each and think how you will make them.  

  Is your project finished? Is there anything else you need to add that you forgot? Are you ready to send pictures of your project to family and friends?   Tell them what it is and how you made it. What was hard and what was your favorite part? Give your project a title.   Don’t forget to send your art teacher a picture!

Music - PK-Gr. 2 - Earth Day Week 7 - 5/11/2020

In your class, you have worked with patterns. Figure out these patterns. What is the next item in each pattern? 1, 2, 3, 4, __ 2, 4, 6, 8, __ CAT, DOG, CAT, DOG, CAT, ______ If your answers were “5, 10 and DOG” you are correct! Now, say the whole CAT, DOG pattern using letters instead of words. CAT = A and DOG = B (The pattern would be A B A B A B.) A song or piece of music can have parts. How the parts are put in order can ALSO make patterns. In music, these patterns are called “FORM.” Each picture in the boxes below stands for a part or section of a song. Figure out the form (pattern) by writing the correct letter below the box. Hint: Always start with the letter “A.” If the next picture is different, use the next letter of the alphabet. If any pictures are the same make sure they have the same letter. The first one is done for you.

 

 

Music - PK-Gr. 2 - Earth Day

Week 8 - 5/18/2020

Last week, you were introduced to FORM in music. We discovered that the form of a song or piece of music depends on the order of the parts/sections of the song. This week, we will be applying what was learned. Remember, boxes that have the same letter within one form must be exactly the same picture. If the letters are different, the pictures must be different. Color each picture in the “A” boxes. You will create and color one picture in each remaining box to represent the letters for the forms that are listed below. Here are two examples to remind you:

ABCD Form = AABBAACC Form = (Different letters = Different Pictures) (Same letters = Same pictures)
